I hate the fact that I suck. I am a competitive guy, but my multiplayer skills are absolute rubbish and it drives me crazy. When a new game comes out I do well, but as time rolls on, everyone but me seems to get better at a game and I continue to get worse. I become a total jobber.
Like Brooklyn Brawler level.
Yet somehow I keep convincing myself that it will only take 1 more game to finally have things click. Like I'm some kind of savant who has the all the skills of an MLG player, but they are lying dormant until that one "a-ha" moment.
So what I need to see more of, is a single player, multiplayer.
Perfect example: ShadowRun.
I could play multiplayer matches, by myself, against AI competition. I can train against the AI at different difficulty levels. It allowed me to get better in a montessori school fashion; at my own pace. Why do so few games do this? Got me, but I have to imagine that there is a world out there of gamers who would love to play these type matches where they can get better at the game without team killing, name calling, on mic chewing, excessive swearing, and general anger because I am the anchor on your team. That's a win/win/win situation.

If you like co-op try Rainbow Six Vegas 2...its the bomb, yo
Dont worry mate i suck at multiplayer as well, we need to set up some time for some halo co-op. But nvm.
Hey EthanJude, great site. And yes, I can relate to your multiplayer woes. I think of myself as a pretty competent player, but as soon as I step foot online I routinely get my ass handed to me. However, I'm bizarrely decent at Call of Duty 4. Go figure.
Dude, you are exactley like me. I suck in multiplayer and it makes me not want to play at all. I don't want to get my butt kicked because I am so competative. I hate it. I tend to levitate to more SP games.
